He was paid by a right winger Breitbart. People might wonder, who else is involved?

This is common knowledge. He is paid, just like a lot of other people by Breibart. He is more of a freelance operator.

Wake up - it was/is all over the news.

One of the reasons Brown won in Mass - the dirty deals going down in the back rooms of the Capitol.

Correction to This Article
Earlier versions of this story incorrectly reported that James O'Keefe faced charges in an alleged plot to bug the office of Sen. Mary Landrieu. The charges were related to an alleged plot to tamper with a phone system. The headline incorrectly referred to a plot to bug the phone and a caption incorrectly referred to an alleged wiretap scheme....

Why tamper with Landrieu's phones? - First Read - msnbc.com

A law enforcement official says the four men arrested for attempting to tamper with the phones in the New Orleans office of Sen. Mary Landrieu (D) were not trying to intercept or wiretap the calls.

Instead, the official says, the men, led by conservative videomaker James O'Keefe, wanted to see how her local office staff would respond if the phones were inoperative. They were apparently motivated, the official says, by criticism that when Sen. Landrieu became a big player in the health care debate, people in Louisiana were having a hard time getting through on the phones to register their views.

You've got to be kidding. You are comparing the FBI (who have the authority to do what they do) with those wet-behind-the-ears political activities aka aspiring Watergate wanna bes? Get a clue: It's not up to private citizens to investigate potential crimes. This is not the way to go about things in a country of laws.

This thread needs to be closed as the OP clearly is misleading people into thinking they were wiretapping when it has been found they were not.

Libs are getting desperate and scared that someone in the dem party has something to hide. They are worried someone just might find something.

As usual dems stretch the truth a bit and get caught.

It's called astroturf.
The GOP used it first, during the Bush administrations.
They asked their supporters to do so and gave points for their actions.

If you see it occurring, please contact your local paper.
They'll deal with it.

we don't even need wiretaps to find the corruption since they are right out in the open with the fact that they can be bought, even bragging about what they got!

i think that is why the brown victory meant so much to americans. americans are decent and fair, and we see that people are willing to throw their party down to stop the corruption. let's hope both parties boot their corrupt out and let's hope that more independents step up to the plate.

You can B/S some of the people, some of the time and sometimes you can B/S most of the people most of the time but you can't . . .

Anybody reading this who hasn't tried to B/S their way out of a traffic ticket? "wanted to see how her local office staff would respond if the phones were inoperative"? Gimme a break!!!!! Hopefully, anybody believing that aren't homicide or burglary detectives.

Stupid is as stupid does

This is so typical of kids this age - on the one hand they are incredibly smart and on the other, their naivete knows no bounds. Regardless of 'why' it is still a felony to trespass on and tamper with federal property.
